New Orleans Pelicans question of the day: Should Brian Roberts have merited more consideration for NBA's All-Rookie team?

Rookie guard Brian Roberts of the New Orleans Hornets had a surprisingly effective year in his rookie season, yet got just five votes on the NBA's All-Rookie team that was announced on Tuesday.

Teammate Anthony Davis, understandably, was a first-team choice, but Roberts, who had played three years previously in Germany and likely will be part of the Pelicans' plans moving forward, received little support.
